A Closer Look at the Pokémon GO Plus

Pokémon GO is an upcoming augmented reality game for iPhone and Android that will let you find, catch, and battle Pokémon out in the real world. This all comes together with the help of a Bluetooth wristband called the Pokémon GO Plus, which NintendoTweet has provided several images of.

The Pokémon GO Plus connects to your smartphone via Bluetooth and lets you perform basic commands in-game, like catching Pokémon, at the press of a button. It also notifies players of nearby Pokémon and other events by flashing and vibrating. The device itself is created and manufactured by Nintendo.
